What Causes the Tire Pressure Warning?
1 Answers
The tire pressure warning is triggered when the tire pressure is either too high or too low. Please check if the tires have punctures or damage. If there is air leakage, use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure of each tire. Generally, the recommended tire pressure for drive wheels is between 2.3-2.7 bar, while for non-drive wheels, it ranges from 2.2-2.5 bar. If the tire pressure is normal, you can try resetting the tire pressure warning light. Hazards of Low Tire Pressure: Increased friction with the road surface, leading to higher fuel consumption. Causes the steering wheel to feel heavy and may lead to vehicle drift, compromising driving safety. Increases movement in various parts of the tire, causing abnormal heat due to excessive rolling. Weakens the function of the cords and rubber, leading to delamination or cord breakage, and excessive friction with the rim, resulting in damage and abnormal wear at the tire bead. Multiplies friction between the tire and the ground, rapidly increasing tire temperature, softening the tire, and drastically reducing its strength. High-speed driving under such conditions may lead to a blowout. Increases tire body deformation, making the tire sidewalls prone to cracks and causing flexing movements, which lead to overheating, rubber aging, fatigue in the cord layers, and cord breakage. It also enlarges the tire's contact area with the ground, accelerating wear at the tire shoulders.
